How a Boston Captain Addressed King
Kamehameha.

How a Boston Captain Addressed King
Kamehameha.
Captain Stephen Taylor, of Boston, spent
a good deal of time at Honolulu between one
voyage and another, and was always treated
as person to whom great deal of con-
sideration was due. He visited the royal
family quite often, and was there received
by his majesty King Kamehameha, who was
known as "King Aleck" by the American
and English residents, on terms of absolute
equality.
One day there was state procession in the
streets of Honolulu, and the natives had
gathered from all over the kingdom to do
honor to royalty. Among the crowd, and
leaning nonchalantly against tree, his big
Panama hat on his head, was Captain Ste
phen Taylor. Presently there was blare of
horns down the street, and the head of the
royal procession came into view. Off went
the headgear of such of the natives as had
any headgear, but Captain Taylor remained
covered.
why don't you take off your hat, cap
tain ~ asked native who spoke English
The captain vouchsafed no reply. But
presently, as the royal party drew near, ain
Englishman said to him.
Hadn't you better uncover, captain ~
Mop said he. 81 never took offmy hat to
Niger yet, and never will"
1t was a rude speech, but not meant in
sultingly, quite evidently; for the next mo-
ment the royal party came quite abreast, and

prominent young merchant of the town--a

his face flushed as If he had just run a mile.
He was fairly painting with excitement

this, gestieulating, he started off around the
corner of the Jail as if he expected me to
obey him, as matter of course. And did.
On following him up. found him seated in
buggy, to which he had hitched his two
superb horses-the fieetest in the county.

brlIion. only one member OF the rrgi-
mcnt, DR.. &. L. Anderson, is now a resl-
dent Of the city, and the facts below Will
he OF interest to our old veterans, who be
lougrd to other regiments:
The One Hundred and Twcnty-siNth
Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, WAS
recruited IN Jefferson, Harrison, IuSCara-
was, Perry and Fairfield counties. The
regiment was mustered into service Sep
TENDER 4th, lSG2, and sent to larkcrshurg,
Va, on the 10th OF the same month, where
it remained perirctiug in drilling aud do
ing guard and garrison duty until the mid
die of the following month, when II was
taken IL Cumberland, Md, at which place
it was stationed for six weeks During the
winter while engaged in guard duty, pro-
trctiug the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
the regiment was visited by m epidemic OF
typao'd fever and smallpox, and the
mllady proved fatal to many OF the men,
while others who partially recovered were
unfit for further service. The regiment
was first assigned to the Third Brigade,
. Second Division, Eight Army Corps,
| which comprised the Sixth New York,
the One Hundred and Tweuty-siyth Ohio,
and Maltsby's West Virginia Battery,
and WAS commanded by Benz. F. Smith,
Colonel of the One Hundred and Twenty
sixth, but the regiment was changed
several times in the different organizations
Of the hrigldes and corps. At Martins
burg the entire company | wa captured by
the Rebels. In the spring Of lSGi the
regiment assisted in the grand campaign
under General Grant in his march on
Richmond, and took part in every en-
gigement from the crossing Of the kLpidan
10 the crossing Of the James river.
The regiment saw hard service all through
the war, and while engaged much OF
the time in skirmishing, guard duty
and marching and counter-marching
through Virginia, it took part in many
hotly contested battles, and was several
times complimented for its g~allantry and
efficiency. The regiment was mustered
out on the 18th OF May, lSGi, having
been in the service nearly three years, the
time for which it enlisted, and during
which time it lost in killed nine officers
including the Lieutenant Colonel and
Ill men; wounded, ten officers and 80
men, making an aggregate OF 800 killed
and wounded. The regiment took part IN
Grants campaign through the Wilderness,
SpottSylvdniI, Cold Hirbor, Cedar Creek
and other note / battles, aud altogether
did good service wherever it was assigned.
